Collection Sets - Lists Of Contents

Wait, does the Catalogue of World Coins include all mint marks/variations etc of each coin?

If you want a cheap list then get a copy on COIN-world magazine and use this as a starter reference point. It has what you are looking for and a fair amount of varieties as well. If you are looking for varieties then you may want to check out:

Hopefully this will get you started in the right direction and show you what other items are out there as well.

If your just getting started and want to save a few dollars, just go to the PCGS web site, go to their coin listings and price guides. If you have a printer you can print that out. You now have your own list of coins. With such a list you can make your list of just what your interested in and not have a massive amount of listings of coins you may not care about. Of course the Red Book for US coins has lots of info as well though. If you do research on the internet you'll find many listings of coins by types such as the Lincoln Cent Resourse web site or https://www.coppercoins.com Same for Nickels, Dimes, etc. Or you could Google coin shows in your area and just go to one of them and look, look, look. Same with a coin store.

You know that is the type of thing so many people just don't come up with. Just to easy, to simple. Sort of like asking someone what time it is and they tell you how to build a clock. I would have said that but just didn't think.
